On Thursday of that week (Dec. 12), Barker will surprise the studio audience by making a rare appearance on The Price Is Right, which is his 90th birthday.

He'll even get to present a special showcase! (The episode has already been taped.)

We're happy to see that Barker seems to have patched things up with the show. Last year, he was not invited to participate in the 40th anniversary events, telling AP that producers "chose to ignore me." Harumph!
